L I T Applic nts ined rebi aai 13,: 1924 The present intention i'elatesjto belt buck the clamping portion ofth'e clamping member' may beheld at different distances fronlf the axis of turningof the clamping fm'eniber so lumbelts'fof "different thicknesses imay c' be clar'nbed 'by'thebelt buckle. A'further ,1 object of the invention is to provide a buckle V 'in which'the clamping portion,iskmov'able; 15- with refere'nc'e to'the axis of turningofzthe I clamping member and means is provided for" defining theposition of the {clamping portion with reference tothe axisof turning,ofithez1 clamping member so that beltsof: different.
